Is the friendly web-slinger going to show up in Avengers: Doomsday?Yesterday, Marvel announced its principal cast for Avengers: Doomsday. MCU veterans like Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan were all announced in the Doomsday cast. One name was noticeably missing: Tom Holland.Recommended VideosHolland plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man and remains one of the most popular characters in the MCU. Yet Holland was not one of the nearly 30 actors confirmed forDoomsday, begging the question about his involvement in the fifth Avengers film.Please enable Javascript to view this contentRumors have circulated about Hollands involvement since Doomsdaybecame official at 2024s Comic-Con. One report stated that Holland would be the lead in Doomsday, though thats unlikely to happen after the casting announcements.Could Marvel withhold Hollands appearance to keep his involvement as a surprise? Absolutely. Look at Hollands last Spidey movie,No Way Home, as a prime example of holding casting news close to the vest. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield had to lie about their involvement in No Way Home for nearly a year, but lo and behold, the two Spider-Man actors teamed up with Holland for the final act.FYI, Marvel has nearly 50 names to announce so expect this video to go on for several hours. Im going to let Marvel have its fun and not spoil the surprises. We can discuss once its all over Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) March 26, 2025Reporter Jeff Sneider wrote thatDoomsdaywill feature around 50 Marvel characters. Given that the studio only revealed 27 names, Marvel could announce the other 23 as the release date approaches or keep them as a surprise.The 28-year-old is currently filming Christopher Nolans The Odyssey. WithAvengers: Doomsday now in production, Holland cannot be in two places at once. Daniel Richtman reported that a stunt double will film some of Hollands scenes as he finishes work onThe Odyssey.Even if Holland does not appear in Doomsday, his Peter Parker will return in Spider-Man 4, coming to theaters on July 31, 2026. Avengers: Doomsdayarrives two months prior on May 1, 2026.Editors Recommendations
